Chinese AI Models Dominate Global Crypto Trading Competition
Chinese artificial intelligence systems have outperformed Western rivals in the Alpha Arena, a high-stakes algorithmic trading competition. Alibaba's Qwen 3 Max secured top position with a 72.1% return on investment, while Deepseek Chat claimed second place. The event tested autonomous trading strategies using real capital in volatile cryptocurrency futures markets.
The results demonstrate China's growing leadership in AI-powered financial applications. Unlike their US-developed counterparts GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro which trailed behind, the Chinese models exhibited superior adaptability to crypto market conditions. All competing AI agents operated without human intervention, each managing a $10,000 portfolio in perpetual futures contracts.
